With the start of the new school year looming, the High Court of Justice blocks the Education Ministry from moving forward with plans to shorten the school day for children in special education frameworks.

Under the plan, which the Israeli Society for Autistic Children (ALUT) petitioned against, the school day for those with special needs would have ended at 4 p.m. instead of 4:45 p.m.
